William Ellery Channing, “Likeness to God” (1828)
View through CrossRef
Abstract
WILLIAM ELLERY CHANNING (1780-1842) was the most famous Unitarian preacher of the day, and one of the major spokespersons for denominational matters and public polity. In 1819, his sermon “Unitarian Christianity” helped name the movement. His Seif-Culture (1838) was one of the documents used by the Transcendentalists in the formation of their concept of self realization, and Slavery (1835) was one of the earliest attacks on that institution by the church establishment. “Likeness to God” distinguished between the Deist and Calvinist Gods that were so remote from humankind, and the potential for godliness that existed for the new generation. In a sense, the Transcendentalists were merely extending Channing’s ideas when they called for human perfectibility; and the backlash from their seniors was all the more puzzling for that reason.
